Not sure if anyone will see the calendar event I just posted, so forgive the repetition...

Puppets in Melbourne presents the School of Puppetry, where for six weeks you get to make your very own muppet-type puppet! In this puppetry course, you'll learn everything from design and character to materials and tools; from making the head to attaching rods!

Basic design, building with foam, methods of operation; you'll learn everything to make your very own professional-looking puppet. Best of all, you don't even have to be in the same country - everything is done live over the net! I'm offering an ONLINE ONLY class! All you need to participate is a copy of my patterns, internet access (a computer and keyboard is a good idea too!), and some time to build. It's really easy, all you need to do is three simple things.

Get the patterns: http://www.schoolofpuppetry.com.au/patterns.php
Get your materials: http://www.schoolofpuppetry.com.au/materials.php
Grab your computer and join me for some online puppet building via live video chat: http://www.schoolofpuppetry.com.au/videos.php

If you miss a scheduled live class, then you can catch up by downloading the recorded video later, or by asking questions at the forum at the above site. Dates, times and all that can be found at the third link.

PS. The patterns are based on concepts from The Foam Book. I just happen to have an extra copy or two, and there may just be a giveaway to those people who turn up to the online building classes!

You prepared your course very well, Na. It is nice that people know what they can expect from you and what is needed to do the course. You did a lot a preperation before you lanced this course. It is all very clear ! I lover that

Great idea offer a web based class.  I hope the everything goes well and you get a lot of interest.

Good Luck Na! The online course should go good and folks should really enjoy it.
